What's included in the Three Kings Day (Spain) Whole School Assembly PowerPoint resource and why is it useful?

Three Kings Day (Spain) Whole School Assembly PowerPoint is a slideshow that explores Día de los Reyes, the Christian celebration held in Spain on 6th January. The content includes 11 slides, covering what Three Kings Day is, the parades, family traditions, Roscón de reyes, why the day matters and follow-up ideas. It links to RE learning about Christianity.

Parades and Traditions

How the Three Kings arrive on floats, horses or camels on 5th January, and how children leave out their shoes, food for the Kings and water for the camels, with questions such as "Can you think of a time you may do something similar?"

Roscón de Reyes

The ring-shaped sweet bread with a hidden figurine and a dry bean, asking "What do you think the candied fruits represent?", with the answer in the teacher notes.

Let's Learn More

Follow-up ideas, including making a paper crown, writing a letter to the Three Kings, baking Roscón de reyes and researching the Kings' journey to Bethlehem.

How do our whole school assemblies work?

Our whole school assemblies are PowerPoint slideshows that follow a similar structure: an introduction, questions to get children thinking, the key points of the topic and reflection time. They're paced to suit a primary school assembly and work best on a whiteboard, projected out to the hall. You can use them:

• as a whole school assembly, from EYFS up to KS2
• as a class assembly
• as a teaching PowerPoint when you want to cover an event or topic in your own classroom

The majority of our assemblies include teacher notes and guidance to support delivery, and because they're pacey, you can adapt them to however long your assembly lasts.

Adapting the Assembly for Your School

Every assembly is editable, so you can add, remove or change slides to suit the needs of your school. We cover religious events, seasonal topics, values such as kindness, friendship and tolerance, science, history, PSHE, music, significant people and sporting events, so you can choose the assemblies that fit your school year.

Supporting Learning at Home

Families can carry the conversation on at home by asking children about their assembly: what they heard, how it made them feel and what they think about it.
